Thank you Jörg, because I think you just solved my problem. Yesterday I tried adding a pause in the program, but I discovered that the function "pause" has been deleted of fortran a long time ago, so I desisted. Today I searched a little bit more and I found the function "sleep", wich is exactly the same as pause, so I added it just after the plotting. And it works!

Now the program is working, just a bit slow because of the pause. 
I think the problem was that, while gnuplot was plotting all the data, fortran was replacing the file with an empty one, creating as a result those white spots.

Thank you again.

Miguel
